Comprehensive Damage Prevention

The law requires that you call 811 prior to digging to have underground utilities marked. However, the majority of underground utilities are privately owned and not required to be marked by 811 locators. These include irrigation systems, parking lot lighting, security and fire control systems, storage tanks, and process sewers. For comprehensive damage prevention, make Blood Hound your second call.

Blood Hound utilizes the most advanced conductive and inductive electromagnetic locating equipment and ground penetrating radar technology to locate public and private underground utilities and structures.

Our private utility locating service prevents costly damages and project delays and protects your crews and community from safety risks.

Locating the Undetectable

Blood Hound utilizes state-of-the-art ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology to locate and map underground utilities and structures undetectable by traditional locating methods. Our vehicle-mounted GPR array can scan terrain at highway speeds. A non-invasive and cost-effective solution, GPR technology provides maximum precision.

Locating Utilities

811

Locates the Public utilities. These are utilities that are owned by the utility companies. 811 will locate these utilities from the main to the box.

CCTV

Diesel Tank

Any underground tank is considered a private utility

Irrigation

All irrigation and sprinkler systems are private underground lines that need to get marked.

Sewer
